"If we really give him first-grade, others will definitely say we have something fishy going on..."
One examiner nodded, "Without others saying it, I myself feel there's a fishy business."
"It's a pity... The formation painting is truly well done, I am simply in awe..."
Everyone felt somewhat regretful.
Yet, the examiner surnamed Zhao said in a deep voice, "Let's give him first-grade."
The other Formation Masters were taken aback.
The middle-aged examiners frowned and said:
"If we give him first-grade, we will surely be doubted and provoke criticism, and if Heaven Shu Pavilion investigates, we will be in trouble."
"Besides, he's too young; there will be plenty of opportunities for him in the future, there's no need to rush this moment."
However, the examiner surnamed Zhao said, "Not giving him first-grade will bring us even bigger trouble."
The middle-aged examiners frowned, "Brother Zhao, what do you mean by this?"
